My invention relates to an improvement in four-in-hand neckties.

The object of my invention is to provide a lining for a four-in-handnecktie which is made of a plurality of layers of live springy' clothcut to fit accurately the confinesof a silk or other envelope comprisingthe exterior portion of the necktie, and to so cut the materialcomprising the layers of lining that the tendency of each layer toassume a flat position inside an envelope will forcethe material of theenvelope to assume a smooth neat appearance." V

More particularly stated, it is the object of my invention to cut thevarious layers of lining material for a necktie in opposite directionsof the original piece of lining material whereby to provide in a liningconstruction for a necktie, at least one layer cut with the warp of thegoods and one layer cut with the woof of the same or similar piece sothat the internal tension of the various plies of lining material willcompensate one another to carry out the general object of my inventionwhich is to provide a lining which will most efficient- 7 dition.

In the drawings Figure 1 is a plan viewof the inner face of a necktiemade in accordance with my invention, a portion of the seam of the tiebeing open to exhibit my tie lining.

Figure 2 is a plan view of one layer of my tie lining.

Figure 3'is a plan view of another ply of the lining.

Figure 4: is an isometric view of a portion of my tie showing a crosssection in detail.

Like parts are identified by the same reference characters throughoutthe several views.

I am aware that many attempts have been made to provide a four-in-handtie construction wherein a lining is provided to assist in maintainingthe general ensemble of the tie in smooth neat condition, but theparticular construction which I'have shown in the drawings and hereindescribed has been found to accomplish this purpose more efiiciently andexpeditiously" than any lining construction of which I'am aware. i s

Conforming to the general external appearance .of'the usual'founin-handtie, I-provide= an-envelope or casing 10 of silk or other 3 suitablematerial foldedalong lines lland 12 to provide defined margins of thebody of my tie and at 13 I fold the envelopesothat by means ofstitchinglt a fairlyrigidseam com pletesithe closure of the flattenedtubular cover1ng.""-'- I I Within the casingorcovering I place thevarious plies of the lining whichis so important in the construction ofmy tie and I form these plies as indicated in Figures 2 and 3 where .itwill be 'seenthat one of the plies 15 is cut with the warp, in otherwords, lengthwise of the piece, and another ply 16 as shown in Figure 3is cut with the woof, or crosswise of the piece. Other plies cut inother directions of the piece may be added,

but I have found that a combination of plies,

one or more of which is cut lengthwise and another cut crosswise of thepiece, constitute a complete combination which will effectively securethe results which I endeavor to obtain.

The two plies 15 and 16 of lining material when cut to conform to thelines 11 and 12 of the envelope may be superimposed upon one another andfolded in the envelope as indicated in that portion 17 of the necktieshown in Figure 1.

By stitching or otherwise closing the envelope 10, I have found that inconformity with the spirit of my invention it is preferable to onlystitch one layer, for instance the ply 15' of the lining, to theenvelope as indicated in Figures 1 and i so that the plies of lining andparticularly the margins thereof are free to straighten out after theyhave been folded or formed in the usual convolutions necessary to theformation of a four-in-hand tie as worn.

Marginally the plies constituting the lining of my tie, conforming asthey do to the lines 11 and 12, force the covering 10 of the tie toassume as flat and smooth an appearance as tion With respect to eachother as shown in the drawings.

Choice of material from which to cut the lining plies is, of course,important and I have found that a layer of a Wool material and a layerof mohair cloth is preferable since wool and mohair cloth have atendency to resist creasing and tend to remain live, active and springyunder all conditions.

A person Wearing my tie will find after he has removed it following adays Wear that the various creases formed by the knot and the curling ofthe material will slowly disappear as the material of the lining pulls,

stretches, strains and pushes inside the confines of the casing 10, andafter a short time the resultant forces Will be found to havestraightened and flattened the covering and completely eradicatedcreases caused by its use and the tie Will be found to be insubstantially unimpaired condition.

I claim:

The combination With a necktie casing folded to provide defined marginlines, of lining material for said casing comprising a plurality oflayers of Woven fabric containing Wool and shaped to conform to saidmargin lines, one of said layers being cut With the Warp and anotherbeing cut with the Woof of its material.
